Chapter 1843 - 1844: Harvest
"If you take another step, you'll regret it!"
Upon hearing this, cold sweat quickly formed on Wang Lin's forehead. He turned stiffly, forced a smile, and then said,
"Lin Chen, big brother Lin, it wasn't me who did it. It was all Zhang Tianhao. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had any ideas about your stuff!"
Lin Chen naturally didn't believe his excuses and sneered coldly, saying,
"Enough with these words. Are you guys following me?"
It's understandable for Lin Chen to think this way. After all, there was already a conflict before, and the Tianjian Pavilion Mountains are so vast, yet he coincidentally ran into Wang Lin. Such suspicion is not without grounds.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lin immediately said,
"Big brother Lin, this is a huge misunderstanding! How would I dare follow you? Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare! I'm just out here for a task and happened to team up with Zhang Tianhao. I didn't expect to run into you!"
Lin Chen naturally didn't fully believe Wang Lin's words, but he could judge that Wang Lin wasn't lying. He felt a little relieved, as being stalked is never a good feeling.
Looking at Wang Lin, even though he appeared very respectful towards Lin Chen, a hint of malice deep in his eyes did not escape Lin Chen's notice.
"Alright, you can leave!"
"Really? Big brother Lin, you're letting me go?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly and said,
"I'm giving you one chance. If you don't leave now, then don't think about leaving ever!"
Wang Lin was overjoyed upon hearing this,
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving! Thank you, big brother Lin!"
After speaking, he quickly took to the skies, wanting to leave, flying swiftly towards the direction of the Tianjian Pavilion.
"Phew, I finally saved my life! Lin Chen progresses too quickly, but letting me go this time is definitely his biggest mistake. When the time comes, I'll surely make him kneel and beg for mercy!"
Just as Wang Lin was plotting in his heart how to take revenge on Lin Chen, he suddenly felt a gust of wind from behind. His expression changed dramatically, and he immediately turned his head. Instantly, a dark golden Sword Qi pierced through his eyebrows!
Wang Lin, dead!
Wang Lin's resentment towards Lin Chen was too deep. Letting him go was clearly like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. It might bring Lin Chen more trouble in the future.
Lin Chen casually swung his sword again, ending the heavily wounded Zhang Tianhao as well. After all, letting him go would also create the same problems as with Wang Lin.
Lin Chen then took the Storage Rings of both men, looting some resources from their bodies. After handling the corpses, he strolled over to stand in front of Shu Tie and Shu Mei.
At this moment, both of them were filled with fear. They had witnessed Lin Chen kill Zhang Tianhao and Wang Lin. If Lin Chen were truly a wicked person, killing them would only be a moment's work.
Shu Tie swallowed hard, not daring to meet Lin Chen's gaze, and bowed his head, saying,
"Hero, we can pretend we saw nothing here. We hope you can spare us!"
Even the usually arrogant Shu Mei stayed silent, whether it was Zhang Tianhao's revealed nature or Lin Chen's powerful slaying that had left her stunned.
Lin Chen did not answer Shu Tie's plea, simply looking at the two and saying indifferently,
"Return to me!"
Shu Tie was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood. He flipped his Storage Ring, and a pile of materials, including Demon Cores, from the Blackwind Wolves appeared on the ground. Moreover, he nudged Shu Mei to indicate she should take out her belongings as well.
Reluctant, Shu Mei complied, but at this moment, they both knew without any resistance that the person who had actually slain a pack of Blackwind Wolves was undoubtedly Lin Chen himself.
With a wave of his hand, Lin Chen collected all the items and glanced at the two. With a sigh in his heart, he flipped his palm, and six Demon Cores appeared on the ground.
"You can say you saved my life. I won't pursue the other matters; this is your reward!"
Shu Mei and Shu Tie exchanged glances, and Shu Tie collected the Demon Cores, thanking politely,
"Thank you, hero!"
"No need to thank me; this is what you deserve. After you return, don't mention me to anyone, or I'll find a way to find you!"
After saying this, Lin Chen didn't look at the two of them again and left directly.
Shu Tie sensed for a moment, determined that Lin Chen had left, and let out a breath of relief, collapsing onto the ground. The pressure Lin Chen imposed on him was much greater than Zhang Tianhao's.
Shu Mei also relaxed and couldn't help but say,
"Brother, that Lin Chen is too overbearing. We saved him, and yet he acts like this. It's downright ungrateful!"
Shu Tie sighed and said,
"Sister, he did the right thing. Even if we didn't save him, nothing would have happened to him. Instead, we added trouble for him!"
Shu Mei felt unsatisfied upon hearing this and continued to grumble incessantly.
Disregarding these two, Lin Chen was already on his way and soon returned to the Tianjian Pavilion.
Upon arriving at Tianjian Pavilion, Lin Chen headed straight to the Affairs Pavilion, coincidentally meeting Deacon Zhou, who had previously assigned him the task.
Lin Chen walked up directly and said with a smile,
"Deacon Zhou, I've come to submit the task!"
Deacon Zhou looked up, saw it was Lin Chen, and frowned.
His impression of Lin Chen was significant. Lin Chen, with his dual God-Man cultivation, dared to undertake tasks attainable only by those in the mid-God-Man stage. Such boldness struck Deacon Zhou as foolish. Yet, Elder Qin trusted him, and with Lin Chen now returning, Zhou was curious to see whether Lin Chen had completed the task.
"To submit a task, you need to provide evidence, as described in the task token. Submitting ten pairs of wolf fangs will suffice!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, then flipped his palm, and ten pairs of wolf fangs appeared on the table.
Deacon Zhou was somewhat surprised, then picked up the wolf fangs and began examining them one by one, discovering that all the fangs had only recently been detached from their bodies. This indicated that Lin Chen had indeed slain ten Blackwind Wolves!
His gaze towards Lin Chen became peculiar, yet he returned the fangs to him, smiling,
"Congratulations on completing the task. This is your reward!"
Saying this, he handed Lin Chen a small pouch. Lin Chen reached out to take it, and Deacon Zhou continued,
"As for the contribution points, they will be automatically recorded on your Identity Token. If you have any unwanted beast materials, you can sell them to the sect, and they will add contribution points to your record!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen nodded in agreement, since the materials from the Blackwind Wolves were neither needed nor particularly valuable.
